Elias Boudinot is a 1798 ink by Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows Elias Boudinot in side profile. His coat buttons line up sharply. The dark background keeps your eyes on his face. Charles B. J. Févret de Saint-Mémin made many portraits like this. He used a tool to scratch fine lines into a metal plate. That way light hits the paper just right. Mezzotint is rare today. Look up Saint-Mémin, Charles B. J. Févret de.
Charles Balthazar Julien Févret de Saint-Mémin (French pronunciation: ; 1770–1852) was a French portrait painter and museum director.
